table reclaimed

Here is a play-by-play of the buffet table that I just 'reclaimed' from Mont's cute little behind.

All cleaned off and polished up:

Halfway through... loved it this way, but still didn't have everything I wanted:

love these vases and barnwood frame!!

Then.. after some finishes... and some everyday "stuff" like my bag, and the print boxes from China that have not had a place to rest since coming home with Mark, the table is ... complete:

When Mark showed me the panoramic pictures of China's Great Wall, I was more impressed with the boxes than with the photos (that you can see where they pieced the pictures together to make them panoramic!). Mark just can't see the charm I see in them, probably because he was immune to old world charm after seeing it up close and personal. At least that's the flattering excuse I came up with. Can't you see the charm?

even though it's old and broken? Just say yes. Thank you.    

ha!
